Chapter 89 Leo’s Evil Nature
Chapter 89 Leo’s Evil Nature
I didn’t know his original name and just remembered that when grandma first brought him home, she
called him Leo.
Leo’s appearance shattered the peace in the yard. He was both rebellious and violent. He would just
wreak havoc in the yard at first, but then he started locking in the cellar in private and pushed me into
the pond.
These incidents weren’t exactly life-threatening and I would only get bruises, so no matter how
outrageous he was, grandma would always forgive him.
This life lasted till the year I took the university entrance examination. The factory was under
investigation for excessive pollution. If the factory’s processing area was blown up, it would mean that
the factory’s sewage system wouldn’t able to function for a long time and the health of the residents
living in the area would be impaired, so the investor wanted to bribe Director Lee a hefty amount on
money so that he would just leave the city, but Director Lee fought back and hyped the whole thing up.
The investor ended up being arrested by the police and was also guilty of embezzling. At that time, the This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
investor’s wife was about to be promoted in City P, so to protect herself, she filed for divorce and
submitted a lot of evidences of the investor’s illegal deeds and the laundering of money.
The investor was sentenced and was seized all of his illegal assets. The investor who lost both of his
money and reputation committed suicide in the prison.
After this I learned that Leo’s father was this investor and his mother passed died of lung cancer one
year after he was taken to the yard.
The already dismal Leo became even more cranky after the accident. He rarely spoke in normal times,
so after losing all the money, the kids in the alley started bullying him and calling his father an evil
person.
These kids had never left the county and only followed their parents’ words, so Leo was even more
alone and didn’t talk to people.
He stared turning his attention to the cats and dogs in the alley. He would sometimes kill them himself
or would throw the dismembered animals into those kids’ home or even poisoned them. He would pile
the dead bodies in the alley and waited for them to stink to the point that no one could live in the alley.
After the factory was abandoned, some of the residents in the alley moved away and Director Lee was
rewarded some money for reporting to the police. He meant to take his family members to somewhere
else , but on the night that he was about to move away, his whole family was sent to the hospital for
food poisoning and the once discarded factory processing machine was demolished.
Nobody really cared the already abandoned factory, but Director Lee’s whole family died after being
treated in the hospital for three days and the only daughter who survived was diagnosed of dementia.
The death of Director Lee’s whole family didn’t draw much attention in this small county, but I knew that
they didn’t die because of food poisoning. He was killed by getting the needles pricked into his head by
Leo. So did his wife.
Diana survived because Leo noticed me for I was there to visit Diana after the examination and
witnessed the whole scene. Diana didn’t die, but for a lone time, she would get crazy every time she
saw Leo.
I wasn’t much better. Seeing two people dying right in front of me at the age of about twenty years old, i
didn’t recover form the incident after a couple of weeks of suffering from high fever.
Me and Diana had never right up this matter again. As naive teenagers, it had never occurred to us to
call the police. And from that day forward, me and Diana had been living under Leo’s tyranny.
Then grandpa suffered got lung cancer and I sold the yard to pool the money and brought grandma to
the Newton Town to get medical treatment while taking the school.
Diana didn’t go to the university and can only earn a living in Newton Town since she had neither family
members nor friends back at home.
Leo disappeared after the people from City P took him home as the lost grandson.
Then I stopped hearing from him.
Me and Diana worked hard while finishing the school and taking care of grandma who can’t hold much
longer after three years of chemo therapy. The money from selling the old mansion was also running
out. Then I felt like that I couldn’t support us while taking the school at the same time, so I had the idea
of dropping out of school. Grandma was mad at me for a long time and then she went to meet grandpa
George.
she said that she had been friends with grandpa George for a long time and she would feel much
secure leaving me to him after she passed away.
Then in less than a year’s time, grandma refused to have chemo therapies for it was too painful for her
and soon departed.
Then grandpa George asked me to get married with Dennis right after the graduation.
These were all the memories that I remembered for the last twenty years of my life. Leo was the
constant darkness in this memory which was both frightening and hateful.
I loathed Leo and didn’t ever want to be with him, but he suddenly hugged me from the back when I
passed him.
“Clara, nothing would get me to leave this time now that I’ve come back!”
After struggling violently, I wasn’t able to get rid of him and frowned, “I didn’t want to see you right from
you first showed up. Leo, you know this from the bottom of your heart.”
“It’s okay. We can take things slow.” Then he turned me around and looked at me, “I can give you
whatever you want.”
“Can you also give me back the lives of Director Lee’s whole family?” I yelled, “I would have probably
long forgot this whole memory if you hadn’t appeared. But now I have remembered everything, Leo. I
can’t promise that I would always keep my mouth shut.”
He sneered, “Do you think you can get me arrested if you call the police now? Those bodies had
already been cremated. What do you think the police can find? Plus, do you really think that Diana can
get to live? She may be able to dodge that bullet before, but it doesn’t mean that I would spare her this
time.”
“You have already killed her parents!” I got frantic, “Leo, you know that it wasn’t their fault! Wouldn’t you
feel guilty all these years?”
“Guilty?” He sneered, “They had that coming.”
Then he approached me and raised the corner of his mouth, “Why should I let them live happily after
that my family was ruined?”
I drooped my head and clenched my fist. I forgot that Leo was a paranoia and wouldn’t ever listen to
other people’s words. He was a psychopath.
Suppressing my inner anger, I tried to push him away, but failed to do so.
Then i suddenly heard a sound of car screeching and before I even got time to turn around, I was
pulled away from Leo’s grip and landed into a big chest.
